Evaluation of a Honda 'Electro Gyro-Cator' Land Navigation System

摘要

A Honda Electro Gyro-Cator land navigation system was evaluated under laboratory and field conditions to determine land navigation accuracies. Laboratory evaluations determined system characteristics such as static drift, frequency response, phase shift, and input-output characteristics (scale factors, bias, and hysteresis). Field evaluations determined land navigation accuracies of approximately 3.5% RMS error per distance traveled. (Author)
